Glass Fiber Filter Paper 8 x 10 inch for High Volume Air Sampler
Model FP-01 is the 8 x 10 inch glass fiber filter paper used by high volume air samplers, supplied 100 pieces per box. The ultrafine glass fiber medium has a high collection efficiency for fine particulate, which is why it is the usual choice for gravimetric PM10, PM2.5 and TSP mass measurement. The discs are sized for the filter holder and snap cover of the classic high volume sampler platform.

What the 8 x 10 inch Format Is Used For
A high volume sampler pulls air through this sheet at a high flow rate, so a large mass of particulate is collected in a single run. The 8 x 10 inch sheet is the size that the classic high volume inlet, filter holder and cartridge were designed around, which means it fits the sampling trains already in service in most national networks, and it can also be used for PM2.5 and TSP sampling where the inlet or impactor defines the cut point.
Why Ultrafine Glass Fiber
Ultrafine glass fiber combines a high collection efficiency for fine particulate with a pressure drop that a standard blower motor can overcome. It is chemically and thermally stable enough for routine gravimetric work and is the medium most laboratories use when the result required is the mass concentration of PM10, PM2.5 or TSP.
Because the medium is fibrous and matte, the filter is also easy to handle with tweezers and to condition before weighing, which helps to keep blank values under control across a long campaign.
Handling Between Laboratory and Field
The paper is compatible with the snap cover and filter paper cartridge set. The filter is loaded into the cartridge in the clean environment of the laboratory, the snap cover protects the surface during transport, and the same cartridge is placed in the sampler at the site. After sampling, the cartridge carries the loaded filter back to the balance room without the sheet being touched or folded.
Ordering, Packing and Lead Time
Each box contains 100 pieces, weighs 0.44 kgs and measures 29x23x6cm, so several boxes can be consolidated on one pallet for export. The item is listed under ERP number 63012-000-048 with a seven day lead time. As a consumable it carries no warranty, and buyers who need quartz or PTFE media for the same sampler can source them from the same catalogue.
The Standard Format for High Volume Sampling
At 8 x 10 inch, or 203 x 254 mm, this is the filter size the high volume method is built around. It matches the filter holder of the mainstream sampler design, so sheets drop into the existing cartridge and snap cover without trimming, folding or adapters.
Ultrafine Glass Fiber for Fine Particulate
Ultrafine glass fiber retains fine particulate efficiently while keeping the pressure drop within the capacity of a standard blower motor. That combination is what makes it possible to collect a mass large enough for reliable gravimetric weighing, even at background concentration levels.
Load in the Laboratory, Carry to the Site
The paper is compatible with the snap cover and the filter paper cartridge set, so the filter can be loaded and sealed in the laboratory and carried to the sampling site without damage. Handling is kept to a minimum and the risk of losing collected material during transport is reduced.
100 Pieces per Box
Each box holds 100 pieces and weighs 0.44 kgs, with a packing measurement of 29x23x6cm. That is a convenient working quantity for a monitoring station: enough filters for a long campaign, and a carton that is easy to store flat on a shelf.
Stock Item with a Seven Day Lead Time
Filter paper is held under ERP number 63012-000-048 and ships with a seven day lead time, which keeps replacement orders and pilot projects on schedule. Because it is a consumable, no warranty applies to the paper itself.
